“I love to spend time with my family and we adore cooking. It just brings us together and is also a great way to entertain family and friends. You can get the whole family involved in the preparation of this simple and simply delicious recipe. Hint, if you can’t find ground lamb, squeeze out lamb sausage, and then you’ll also have some extra spice as well!” – Shandor
